Definitions
- the invention herein described has to do with a mounting, namely for a drill to be readily movable about where the operation is intermittent and at short intervals.
- a particular use for which this mounting is especially adapted is that of drilling or breaking a crust which forms in the process of producing metallic aluminum.
- Such a process is electrolytic and comprises the melting of aluminum oxide in a large pot within which is centrally located an electrode and charged with the oxide, broken down electrolytically and heated.
- the metallic aluminum is drawn off from the pot and the impurities rise forming a crust at the top which has to be bnoken up to permit the introduction of additional material to be refined. Breaking up of the crust is performed by a suitable punching apparatus which in this case is a pneumatic drill so mounted that it can be guided from place to place easily and advanced and retracted at will.
- An object of this invention is to provide a mounting which will be suitable for uses of this sort. Inasmuch as the wear and tear on such a drill is considerable a further object is to provide a mounting easily taken apart for repair.

Adams, Phiilipsburg, NJ, assignors to Kngerscll-Rand Company, New York, N.Y., a corporation of New Jersey Filed Feb. 23, 1961, Ser. No. 91,0% '7 Claims. (til. 9211) This invention relates to mountings for pneumatic drills.
The invention herein described has to do with a mounting, namely for a drill to be readily movable about where the operation is intermittent and at short intervals. A particular use for which this mounting is especially adapted is that of drilling or breaking a crust which forms in the process of producing metallic aluminum. Such a process is electrolytic and comprises the melting of aluminum oxide in a large pot within which is centrally located an electrode and charged with the oxide, broken down electrolytically and heated. In the course of the process the metallic aluminum is drawn off from the pot and the impurities rise forming a crust at the top which has to be bnoken up to permit the introduction of additional material to be refined. Breaking up of the crust is performed by a suitable punching apparatus which in this case is a pneumatic drill so mounted that it can be guided from place to place easily and advanced and retracted at will.
An object of this invention is to provide a mounting which will be suitable for uses of this sort. Inasmuch as the wear and tear on such a drill is considerable a further object is to provide a mounting easily taken apart for repair.
The manner in which these objects are accomplished and further objects and advantages of the invention will be in part pointed out and in part obvious from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, in which:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of the drill and its mounting embodying the invention,
FIG. 2 is a longitudinal section of the feed cylinder and part of the control handle therefor,
FIG. 3 is a perspective view, partly broken away, of a part of the contnol handle at the end at which it is attached to the feed cylinder and drill guide,
FIG. 4 is a perspective view, partly broken away, of the drill guide,
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the end of the control handle at which it is held by the operator,
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the connecting rod removed from the feed cylinder,
FIG. 7 is a view of the carriage on which the drill is mounted and slidable in the drill guide, and
FIG. 8 is an end view of the drill carriage looking from the right hand of FIG. 7.
Referring to the drawing, the pneumatic drill 10 provided with a drill steel 12, adapted to punch the crust above described, is mounted on a carriage 14 slidable on a drill guide 16 and moved forward and back by a feed mechanism 18, and guided by a handle 20'. The mounting is adapted to be suspended from a hanger 22 only the lower part of the hanger being shown it being understood that hanger 22 is movable in any well known manner from place to place.
The difficulty of lubricating the bearing thus formed is met by the introduction of a small amount of the actuating pressure fluid for motivating this entire mechanism by way of a small hole 132 extending from the hole 122, the entire length of connecting rod 118 and by way of a small transverse port 134 and a slot 136 formed in the back end of connecting rod 118 to the space between tie rod 120 and tube 110. Adjacent the back end of tie rod 120, piston 50 is provided with a small leak passage 139 leading to an axial hole 138 extending through piston 50. In stem 58 at the end of axial hole 138 is leak passage 140 which will leak a small amount of pressure fluid by way of the passages above described to the bearing 124. When pressure fluid is supplied for operating tools of this character a certain amount of lubricant is always supplied and a small amount of lubricant which will leak with the leakage air to bearing 124 is sufiicient to take care of lubrication of that hearing.
The control handle consists of a tubular member 142 fitting into a bore 144 in the boss 146 of control handle and connector 94 and held therein by a linch pin 148. Member 142 extends to and joins a second tubular member 150 being attached thereto by a plug 152, suitable pins 154 being provided to stabilize the connection. Tubular member 150 terminates in a guard member 156 having a downwardly extending plate 158 and a plate 160' perpendicular thereto, the two being braced together by a wall 162 at one end. The guard 156 protects a bar handle 164 in rectangular form of which the ends are held in member 150 by a linch pin 166. To protect against the heat and electric current, tubes 142 and 150 are encased in a tubular insulator 168.
The connector 94 is provided with a boss 170 having a transverse hole 172 to receive a bar 174 supported from hanger 22. Bar 174 is adapted to be received in a variety of positions with respect to hanger 22 and for this purpose hanger 22 which is provided with a vertically supported I-beam 176 has a number of tubes inserted transversely therein as shown at 178 into any one of which bar 174 can be placed. Inasmuch as these are at various heights a measure of height adjustability is provided.
The lowest tube 178 is provided with a projecting bar 180 which will abut recessed portion 173 of the connector 94 to limit the swing of the drill mounting angularly. A bent bar 182 is mounted on I-beam 176 and has an opened portion adapted to encircle and protect the upper part of feed mechanism 18.
Compressed air or any suitable pressure fluid is introduced at the threaded hole 100 by a pipe 186 extending parallel to cylinder 48 fitted with suitable hose 188 leading to a source of compressed air 190. Thus air is introduced into the interior of cylinder 48 to constantly urge piston 50 to its upper position pulling drill 10 into its retracted position. This is opposed by air introduced at the threaded aperture 56 by way of a hose 192 also connected to the source of pressure fluid 190 by way of a valve 194 of any suitable description. Thus by operating valve 194 air will enter the upper end of cylinder 48 to shove piston 50 forward inasmuch as the area exposed to air pressure from the upper side is greater than the exposed area on the opposite face of piston 50. Simultaneously, by actuation of valve 194, compressed air will be provided by way of pipe 196 to threaded aperture 198 adjacent the threaded aperture 100 and connecting with a transverse threaded hole 200 to which is connected a fitting and hose connection 202 leading to drill 10.
For the purpose of protecting drill steel 12 a guard is provided at the front head of guide 16 that consists of a pair of plates 204 bolted to the side plates of drill guide '4 16. Renewable face plates 206 suitably bolted to side plates 204 are provided as these guards are subject to very considerable abuse.
In operation when hanger 22 has been located suitably with respect to the work to be performed the operator grasping handle 164, steers the mounting to direct drill steel 12 suitably and by manipulation of valve 194 ad vances drill 10 through the supply of motive fluid into cylinder 48 and simultaneous operation of drill 19 by supply of motive fluid by way of pipe 196. The drilling operation is very intermittent and requires repeated advancing of the drill 10 and retraction by way of the feed cylinder 10. The drill steel 12 is steered by the operator who grasps the handle 164 and is protected from the intense heat by guard 156. Excessive swinging of the mounting is prevented by the recessed portion 173 and bent bar 132 which limit the motion of the mounting.
Thus by the above construction are accomplished, among others, the objects hereinbefore referred to.
